Abstract: In this paper, we develop a supply chain network game theory model consisting of retailers and demand markets with retailers competing noncooperatively in order to maximize their expected profits by determining their optimal product transactions as well as cybersecurity investments subject to nonlinear budget constraints that include the cybersecurity investment cost functions. The co...

In non-cooperative games, if coordination is allowed, then coalitions can take group actions, and thus become players themselves, each opposed to its complement. There is conflict when for every outcome there is at least one player who strictly prefers another outcome. In this paper, an index measuring conflict is provided. It obtains through a general procedure for turning any non-cooperative ...

This paper investigates the coordination mechanism for a supply chain with one manufacturer and two competing retailers when the demands are disrupted. This differs from conventional supply chain coordination models under a static case.
